To get started, the following pages cover various topics that will help you understand how to call API functions, and how to interpret results. </p> <p> Once you have read these pages, you can browse through the affiliate- or merchant-specific documentation. </p> <hr /> <div class="cog"> <h2> <a href="GeneratingApiKeys/">Generating API Keys</a> </h2> <p> All access to the Commission Factory API requires an API key, which you can generate under your Account Settings in the Commission Factory dashboard. </p> </div> <div class="cog"> <h2> <a href="CallingApiFunctions/">Calling API Functions</a> </h2> <p> While the Commission Factory API exposes a wide range of functionality, every function call follows the same basic pattern. </p> </div> <div class="cog"> <h2> <a href="JsonOrXml/">JSON or XML</a> </h2> <p> By default, the Commission Factory API works with data formatted in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), but you can easily override this. </p> </div> <div class="cog"> <h2> <a href="ApiCallRateLimits/">API Call Rate Limits</a> </h2> <p> To ensure a high quality of service for all of our API users, the Commission Factory API puts limits on the number of calls that you can make. </p> </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer"> <div class="content"> <div class="page"> <div> <img style="width: 166px;" src="/Media/Commission Factory_Logo4.svg" alt="Commission Factory - Part of Awin" title="Commission Factory - Part of Awin" /> <p style="font-size: 12px;"> Copyright © 2014 - 2025,<br /> Commission Factory Pty Ltd </p> <p style="font-size: 12px;"> ABN: 15 149 765 631 </p> </div> <div class="links" style="padding-left: 15px;"> <h1>Getting Started</h1> <p> <a href="GeneratingApiKeys/">Generating API Keys</a><br /> <a href="CallingApiFunctions/">Calling API Functions</a><br /> <a href="JsonOrXml/">JSON or XML</a><br /> <a href="ApiCallRateLimits/">API Call Rate Limits</a> </p> </div> <div class="links" style="padding-left: 15px;"> <h1>Affiliate Accounts</h1> <p> <a href="Affiliate/Functions/">Functions</a><br /> <a href="Affiliate/Types/">Types</a> </p> </div> <div class="links" style="padding-left: 15px;"> <h1>Merchant Accounts</h1> <p> <a href="Merchant/Functions/">Functions</a><br /> <a href="Merchant/Types/">Types</a> </p> </div> <div class="links" style="padding-left: 30px;"> <h1>Get in touch</h1> <p> <a href="/AboutUs#contactus">Contact Us</a><br /> <a href="https://www.commissionfactory.com/">Visit Homepage</a> </p> <p style="padding-top: 10px"> <a href="https://twitter.com/commissionfacto" target="_blank"><img src="/Media/Twitter.svg" height="18" /></a> <a href="https://facebook.com/commissionfactory" target="_blank"><img src="/Media/Facebook.svg" height="18" /></a> <a href="https://linkedin.com/company/commission-factory" target="_blank"><img src="/Media/LinkedIn.svg" height="18" /></a> <a href="https://commissionfactory.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><img src="/Media/Tumblr.svg" height="18" /></a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
